Because these twerps feel they have the moral ground over anybody else. They honestly believe that they have the right to shut anybody down with violence who dares to disagree with them. Or, even worse, offends them.

Here’s a speech from one of the head moonbats (a ''teacher'' of course) where she specifically states that they will ''shut him down by any means necessary''

These fascists should be condemned by everyone, regardless of political leanings. It’s almost like they’ve learned absolutely nothing from 2016.

Much as I find Yiannopoulos an obnoxious little turd, I'm always of the opinion of letting them speak so they can hang themselves by their own words. My own Reading uni student union had a policy of no platform for racists, which I disagreed with at the time, and still do.

Having said that, Trumper making empty threats to withdraw funding because of the protests is simply crass and immature.

Some places are pretty remote, but assuming the money was invested for infrastructure there are vast areas that could be used. Wyoming comes to mind, it's sparsely populated and a pretty place. Might be a bad fit for Muslim refugees due to religion, but in terms of habitability it's fine.

...To assume that other world leaders are thin-skinned snowflakes, and can't handle a phone being slammed on them is somewhat pathetic and naive. Any national leader that cannot handle that should not be in a position to lead a country...

Trump is the ultimate thin-skinned snowflake. He can't handle jokes/satire, much less constructive criticism. The idea he's not the most-watched, most-smart, most-awesome everything ever is simply inconceivable to him.

U.S. eases restrictions on cyber-security sales to Russian spy agency.

The initial sanctions, as imposed by President Obama in April 2015, were titled "Blocking the Property of Certain Persons Engaging in Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities."
That was further strengthened in December in an order entitled, "Taking Additional Steps to Address the national emergency with Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-enabled Activities."

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., ranking member of a House CIA subcommittee, accused the Trump administration of “rewarding” the FSB for tampering with the U.S. elections.

“When two-thirds or three-quarters of the C.E.O.s in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think . . . ” Bannon said, trailing off. “A country is more than an economy. We’re a civic society.”

Suppose you are unemployed or on minimum wage like all your mates in some half dead industrial town in the Rust belt and voted for Trumps job promises.
Then Trump keeps boasting about all the new factories and offices he is bringing into the US but you and your mates are still in the same mess then you will start to wonder if you should have believed him when it comes to mid term!

Remember when loads of industries went in the UK and all the call centres sprang up? I wonder if they'll accept any old job or want their particular industries back? I'd be looking at tax breaks and development grants for businesses prepared to set up in the rust belt, and adult retraining to get the local workforce ready.

But it is well known the Rasmussen polls are misleading and designed to support the Conservatives

Quote:

The Rasmussen poll, conducted days before the order was issued, asked respondents a question which was factually misleading. In total, 1,000 likely voters were asked: “Do you favor or oppose a temporary ban on refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen until the federal government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists from coming here?”

But the order does not ban all refugees – only Muslim refugees.

Moreover, the Rasmussen poll is misleading in its implication that the government does not currently “screen out potential terrorists”. Refugees entering the US already face a rigorous vetting process by at least four separate US government agencies, with dozens of steps which can take up to two years.

Trump claims he will improve the vetting process but it is already a very rigorous vetting process and there were never any terrorist acts in the US committed by people who were approved by the current vetting process.

Russia and Iran are allies in Syria and for a long time, why would Russia fight them?

Quote:

The Soviet Union was the first state to recognize the Islamic republic in February 1979.
Due to Western economic sanctions on Iran, Russia has become a key trading partner, especially in regard to the former's excess oil reserves.

Militarily, Iran is the only country in Western Asia that has been invited to join the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Russia's own international treaty organization in response to NATO, while much of the Iranian military consists of Russian weaponry.

Iran is not Iraq, they would put up a tough fight if attacked.

Quote:

During the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, fervent Basijis volunteered to serve on the front lines.
For a time, very young Basijis were encouraged to offer themselves for martyrdom by clearing minefields with their bodies in what became known as “human waves”—literally walking to their deaths en masse so that more experienced soldiers could advance against the enemy.

This is starting to get very very tiresome, picking an Ambassador who wants to bring down the institution he's being assigned to Why not just do away with diplomats altogether and replace them with sales executives?

European parliament leaders call on EU to reject Trump's likely ambassador pick
Exclusive: Heads of parliament’s main political parties issue unprecedented call opposing Ted Malloch, who likened his goal to ‘bringing down the Soviet Union’

The European parliament’s main political parties are making an unprecedented attempt to block Donald Trump’s likely choice as ambassador to the European Union from EU buildings, describing him as hostile and malevolent.

In a startling move that threatens a major diplomatic row, the leaders of the conservative, socialist and liberal groups in Brussels have written to the European commission and the European council, whose members represent the 28 EU states, to reject the appointment of Ted Malloch.

Malloch, a businessman who stridently supported Brexit ahead of the vote in June, is said to have been interviewed for the post by Trump.

When recently asked by the BBC why he was interested in moving to Brussels, Malloch replied: “I had in a previous career a diplomatic post where I helped bring down the Soviet Union. So maybe there’s another union that needs a little taming.”

He also said that Trump was not a fan of the EU, described it as “supranational and unelected” and attacked the European commission’s president, Jean-Claude Juncker. “Mr Juncker was a very adequate mayor I think of some city in Luxembourg, and maybe he should go back and do that again,” he said.
